Updating records with attachment fields

I maintain a 9 year old database which I recently converted to Access 2007. While doing so, an attachment field was added to one of the tables.
My problem: I recently gathered some data in the attachment fields in the development copy of the database and wanted to transfer the additions to the production table. The update query came back with a message to the effect that you can't use an attachment field in an update query.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what is the workaround? VB or manual re-entry of the data

Adding one attachment to many records
I was wondering if it is possible to add one attachment to multiple records. I don't think there will be many attachments within the database and most of them will be word documents. However there could potentially be 20 records all with the same attachment so it would be good to just attach a file once but to multiple records.

I want to remove all the pdf from all the records in this table automatically with VBA or something,

Add multiple records with one field
Please find attached my form, the "Slide" field is of type attachment. This field usually has min 5 attachments, is there a way that a record can be made for each attachment added, the Start and End Date will be the same for every attachment.

Can someone please help, it takes a long time to add each attachment seperately.

attachment fields
Previously using Access 2003 now using 2007 for the first time - was using a text field for paths to images for displaying on forms, now I see there are attachment fields that seem to be for images. Question is how do I convert the text field into an attachment? Or should I even be trying

Manage attachments
I have a form in which the fields are enabled or disabled based on user permissions. If a user has only 'Read' permission then all the fields are disabled else the fields are enabled. Now I also have an attachment field in my form. If I disable the attachment field, then the user is unable to view the attachments. I want the users with 'Read' permission to view the attachments but not manipulate it. Like, a user with 'Read' permission must not be able to 'Add' or 'Remove' an attachment, but he must be able to 'Open' the attachment and 'Save' the attachment.

P.S: I have used the default 'attachment' which comes with MS-Access, that is I have added a field with the datatype 'attachment' and made my textbox a bound field in the form

Attachment data type and VBA
I'm trying to create one record from another one. One field is attachment data type. I just create a normal query (INSERT INTO) but it' not working (impossible with multiple value field). Do you have a suggestion about inserting or updating an attachment datatype field (with or without VBA

Concatenating fields from matching records
I have a bill of materials problem I need some direction on. I have a query that yields a list of components used in an assembly. Each instance of a component has its own unique reference designator (see first attachment). Now, I want to create a new query from the existing one which groups / concatenates the reference designators together for matching part numbers (see second attachment).

Add Attachment to form
I have a linked table called "dbo_problems", and a form called "Problem Records Details". I have created a table called "Attachments". The"Attachments" table contains the following fields: ID, Problem_ID,

The form "Problem Records Details" has an Unbound object called Attachment. I have tried the following as the control source:

1) SELECT [Attachment] FROM [Attachments] WHERE [Problem_ID]=Forms![Problem Records Details]![ID];
Only the attachments where Problem_ID of the attachments table equals the ID of the record displayed on the "Problem Records Details" form.

The user will select the userid from a combo box.
Then attach a file and finally will a click of a command button, the file will be attached to the record associated with the userid

Delete Duplicate Record
A table say call "A" consists of duplicate records as shown in the below attachment. Can anyone recommend to me on how to detect and delete duplicate records but I wish to leave ONE record ONLY at the end of deleting process.

Please take note, not all records are duplicating. You can refer to the below attachment for further understanding

Exporting Attachments per record
I've started migrating it to a custom backend that stores files externally (not using the attachment field so virtually removing the DB limitation concerns I had).

It's a split back end database that has around 1800 records.

Is there any way whatsoever to extract those attachment files from the Attachment field to an external source? I'd rather not have to go through an individually back up 2 - 3 files per record for 1800 records.

Optimistically, this is how it would work:

There is a field called NUMBERONE that is the main entry for the DB (all of it hinges on that; it will never be duplicated).

Each NUMBERONE has an attachment field (2007) that contains anywhere from 0 to 4 attachments.

I would like to be able to run something that will make a folder NUMBERONE and put all the attachments in it.

attachment printing
What I want to do is have a button to print the attachment when pressed. if I double click on the attachment the popup window allows you to some thing but not print the attachment unless you open it and then print it,

Viewing Attachments
I created a form in Access 2007 where I linked PDF research files to a file in access. If I double click on the paper clip that is in my form I get an Access Attachment Dialog box where the user has to highlight the attachment and either double click it or click open on the right. (All records should only have 1 attachment.)

Is there a way for the user to either click or double the attachment and have it open

However, this field is not populated until I close and reopen the database.

How can I have the form display the attachment name as soon as the attachment is added?

Attachments (fields)
I would like to create an attachment field in a table that I can use in a form. When I try to create a attachment field I am going to datasheet tab/ data type & formating/ data type clickon the drop down list and no option for attachment in design or data sheet view is their a setting or something I need to setup?
